In 2011, Joy experienced a life-changing health crisis that caused her to stop and deeply reconsider the meaning of her life . As she reflected on the years she had already lived , one question transformed her perspective:
What would you do differently if you were given more years?
That moment reshaped her path. Today, everything she does is driven deep by a deep belief in purpose , people and the power of transformation.
